Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 lb ground beef

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)

10–12 egg roll wrappers

1 egg, beaten (for sealing)

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Optional for serving: ketchup, mustard, or burger sauce

Directions

In a skillet over medium heat, I cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. I drain any excess fat.

I stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Then I remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

I mix in shredded cheese until it melts and blends into the beef.

I place 2–3 tablespoons of filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper, fold in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing the edge with beaten egg.

I heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C) and fry the egg rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.

I drain them on paper towels and serve warm with dipping sauces.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 10–12 egg rolls. It takes around 15 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to cook, giving me a total time of about 35 minutes. Each egg roll has roughly 220 calories.

Variations

I sometimes change up the filling by adding diced pickles or jalapeños for extra flavor. Using different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella gives a new twist. If I want to lighten things up, I bake them in the oven at 400°F for about 15–18 minutes instead of frying.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I use an oven or air fryer at 375°F for about 5–7 minutes, which keeps them crispy. I avoid microwaving since it makes the wrappers soggy.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, I often assemble the egg rolls ahead and keep them in the fridge for a few hours before frying. They can also be frozen before cooking.

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Absolutely. I brush them lightly with oil and bake at 400°F for 15–18 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

Can I use ground turkey or chicken?

Yes, I like using ground turkey or chicken when I want a leaner version. I just make sure to season it well since it’s milder than beef.

Can I freeze cooked egg rolls?

Yes, I let them cool completely, then freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer bag. To reheat, I bake them straight from frozen at 375°F until hot and crispy.

What dipping sauces go best with these?

I usually serve them with ketchup, mustard, burger sauce, or even ranch dressing. They pair well with any classic burger topping flavors.

Conclusion

These crispy cheeseburger egg rolls are one of my favorite ways to enjoy cheeseburger flavors in a fun, crunchy package. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and always disappear fast at the table. Whether I’m making them for game day, a party, or just a family snack night, they’re a guaranteed hit.
